Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece 9-inch pie crust
- 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna, drained
- 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Press the pie crust into the pie dish, trimming off any excess dough around the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust lightly to prevent bubbling during baking.
In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Spread the tuna evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the tuna, ensuring an even layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and onion powder until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture carefully over the tuna and cheese layers in the pie crust. Use a spoon to gently distribute the ingredients if needed, ensuring even coverage.
Place the quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the custard to firm up for easy serving.
Slice the quiche into wedges and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
